چکیده
In this paper we discuss the limits of attenuation of silica hollow core negative curvature fibers in the wavelength range from 800 nm up to 4.5 µm. Both numerical and experimental results are presented and show good agreement. A minimum attenuation of 24.4 dB/km was measured at around 2400 nm wavelength, while 85 dB/km was measured at 4000 nm.

Low loss silica hollow core fibers for 3-4 μm spectral region.
We describe a silica hollow-core fiber for mid-infrared transmission with a minimum attenuation of 34 dB/km at 3050 nm wavelength. The design is based on the use of a negative curvature core wall. Similar fiber designed for longer wavelengths has a transmission band extending beyond 4 µm.
متن کاملEffect of core boundary curvature on the confinement losses of hollow antiresonant fibers.
We use numerical simulations to investigate how the curvature of the fiber core boundary influences the attenuation of hollow antiresonant fibers. We show the importance of a "negative" curvature core boundary in reducing confinement losses and also how, for certain curvatures, optical power is coupled resonantly to cladding modes. We simulate bending losses and find results in agreement with p...
متن کاملSilica hollow core microstructured fibers for beam delivery in industrial and medical applications
The focus of this review is recent work to develop microstructured hollow core fibers for two applications where the flexible delivery of a single mode beam is desired. Also, a brief review of other fiber based solutions is included. High power, short-pulsed lasers arewidely used formicro-machining, providing highprecision andhigh quality. However, the lack of truly flexible beam delivery syste...
متن کاملPicosecond and nanosecond pulse delivery through a hollow-core Negative Curvature Fiber for micro-machining applications.
We present high average power picosecond and nanosecond pulse delivery at 1030 nm and 1064 nm wavelengths respectively through a novel hollow-core Negative Curvature Fiber (NCF) for high-precision micro-machining applications. Picosecond pulses with an average power above 36 W and energies of 92 µJ, corresponding to a peak power density of 1.5 TWcm⁻² have been transmitted through the fiber with...
متن کاملStrong Light Localization and a Peculiar Feature of Light Leakage in the Negative Curvature Hollow Core Fibers
In this paper we would like to continue a discussion started in our previous work and devoted to the mechanism of light localization in hollow core microstructured fibers with a noncircular core-cladding boundary. It has been shown in many works that, for waveguide microstructures with different types of core-cladding boundary shape, the positions of the transmission bands’ edges can be predict...
